Juicy Fruits is a colorful and lighthearted board game designed by Christian Stöhr and published by Capstone Games as part of their family line. It’s a game for 1–4 players that combines simple sliding mechanics with strategic resource management.

Each player manages their own tropical island board, growing different types of fruit—bananas, limes, pomegranates, oranges, and mangoes. The goal is to collect fruit and use it to supply ships waiting at the shore or to build business establishments such as ice cream stands and juice bars. The game is visually appealing, featuring chunky wooden tiles and bright illustrations that create a relaxed, summery atmosphere.

Players slide fruit crates across their grid (from 3×3 up to 5×5), with the number of spaces moved determining the amount of fruit collected. Fruit is then used to fulfill ship orders (which frees up space on the board) or to purchase business establishments that provide points and special abilities. Business tiles are placed on the player’s board, limiting movement but offering more scoring opportunities. The game ends when the license marker reaches the end of the track—this happens as players buy business establishments.

There’s also a juice factory module that adds an extra layer of strategy for experienced players, as well as a solo mode for playing without others.

If you’re looking for a game that combines a relaxing theme with tactical thinking and gives you the feeling of building your own island strategy with every move, Juicy Fruits is the perfect choice. 🍊🍌🍉
